"Fresh" Sunday School Our minister offers a discussion group after Worship, open to everyone age 13 and older. It's led by your questions and interests. Expect honestly and frankness from the perspective of broad education humbled by sobering experience.

Adult Sunday School Our adult classes are communities within community. We sit around the table together weekly to discuss Scripture, while forging friendship around our shared faith. All are welcome!

Annual Fall Fun Fest The public is welcomed in each fall as the church organizes a family event the Thursday before Halloween.

Bible Study Two groups meet throughout the school year for a round-the-table discussion of Scripture. Pastor Brent guides the group through books of the Bible. Open conversation is nurtured, and no question, comment, or challenge is discouraged. The goal is to come to God's Word honestly. All ages benefit from these studies.

Community Care Group Events Our Care Group organizes social events like game nights, potlucks, and concerts to foster connection and belonging within the community of faith. There is at least one social event each month of the year. Always fun, always open to everyone.

Community Meals Each month a hot meal is offered, by donation, no obligation, to the community. This is a wonderful evening of fellowship open to all.

Harvest Home This long-standing tradition continues and flourishes at Marion First. Each November our folks collect pantry items and assemble grocery boxes for households in need of some extra love.

Junior Church During the worship service, children are dismissed for their own time of teaching and activities.

Kids Club After Worship, during the Sunday school hour, children age 5-12 enjoy a loosely structured hour of active engagement in the gym. Sometimes it's centered around games, sometimes around praise expression. Children need fellowship and vibrant worship too!

Mission Central Volunteering We regularly take a carpool to the Mission Central warehouse to help organize items for relief aid that is sent around the world.

Power Pack The Marion Elementary School is an integral part of the Marion community. Our church folks purchase and prepare weekend lunch bags for students who qualify for the Power Pack Program.

Tough Questions, Honest Answers Twice a month, we gather informally with the pastor to talk openly and honestly about parts of scripture and faith tradition that are hard to understand, grapple with, fit together, or even to accept. Rather than harboring nagging doubts or uneasiness, we lay them on the table where the light of collected knowledge and understanding can help.

Yearly Community Egg Hunt Each spring our congregation hosts an Easter Egg Hunt for the children in our neighborhood. This is a gift of love, fucused around the welcome of Christ.

Youth Group Sunday evenings we welcome junior and senior high students into community around food, fun, open-hearted friendship, and honest conversation about life and faith.
